Residents still unhappy with proposed zoning changes
HOLLAND In the face of public opposition to proposed zoning changes included in Holland s Unified Development Ordinance, the Holland Planning Commission, which has been directing the drafting of the UDO, has tweaked, walked back or completely removed some of the proposed changes. 
But has the commission modified the proposal enough to satisfy the concerns of residents? 
No, they re not listening to us, said Fred Floberg, who lives in the R-1, or single-family residential zone district.
Many R-1 residents were angered by a proposal to legalize duplexes in their neighborhoods on lots of 10,000 square feet or larger.
